Die Radier- und Aetzkunst in ihrem ganzem Umfange : oder gründliche Anweisung, alle Arten Zeichnungen mit leichter Mühe auf Kupfer- Zink- und Zinnplatten sehr täuschend nachzuahmen
An 1827 German manual on etching and aquatint by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, published in Zwickau for painters and printmakers who wanted to imitate drawings on copper, zinc and tin plates. Its plates show etched and drawn figures, a seated old man with a book, a figure in a doorway, a man playing a long horn, and a tree study, offering a designer examples of hatched shading, loose contour lines and soft tonal rendering in etching.
